Smug American Observations on Redcoat Land

1. The British Pound looks more like monopoly money than any other currency I have ever seen. And WHY THE HELL is the 2 pence coin as big as my palm while all the other ones are tiny???
2. Pubs in the town of Oxford close at like 11 or 12. They close at like 2 or 3 in Dublin. Which is probably a factor in why it took so long for Ireland to become free and get their shit together...
3. The Great Hall scenes in Harry Potter were filmed in Christ Church College, Oxford. I was terribly disappointed by the real thing.
4. They say "Botanic Gardens" instead of "botanical gardens." This also upset me for some odd reason.
5. All the important landmarks in London (Big Ben, London Eye, ect) are right next to each other (this made my picture taking life SO much easier).
6. The British Museum has pamphlets arguing why they should be allowed to keep all of the artifacts that they stole/illegitimately purchased from Greece (which is questionable and bitchy, but it's still the best museum ever).
7. It is impossible to get free rides on public transportation in London. America could've used help in that department. Maybe SEPTA would stop raising fares so much...
